PRESIDENT CFEvY.
He Resigns the Presidency OF the
French Republic Which He Has
Administered Nine Years.

President Grevy's message resigning the
presidency OF the republic was read III the
chamber OF deputies on the Cd. 1t says:
So long as I had only to contend with
the difficulties that have accumulated in
my path, the attacks Of the press, the alb
stention Of the men whom the public voice
called to my side, and the increasing iln-
possibility to form ministry. I struggled
on and remained where duty babe me; but
at the moment when public opinion,
better informed, marked change which
gave me hope OF forming government.
the senate and chamber Of deputies voted
q double resolution which, under the form
OF an adjournment to a fixed hour to wait
the presidents promised message, is tam
tamount to snmInoning the president to
resign. 1t would be my duty and right to
resist, but under the circumstances in
which we are placed, a conflict between the
executive and parliament might en- tail con-
sequences which restrainne. Wisdom and
patriotism command mo to yield. leave
to those who assume it the responsibility
for such u precedent and for the events that
may ensue. relinquish without regret,
but not without sadness, the dignity to
which have been twice raised with.
out solicitation and in the exercise of
which feel conscious that have done my
duty. To this I call France to witness.
France will say that for nine years nv
government has secured to the country
peace. order and liberty, has made France
respected throughout the world, has work.
ed unremittingly to save her. and in the
midst OF an armed Europe leaves her in a
condition to defend her honor and rights;
further, that it has been able to keep the
republic in a wise internal course, marked
out by the interests and wishes OF the
country. France will say that in return
for this hov -
post where her confidence placed me. In
leaving political lie form but one wish.
1t is that the republic may not be struck
blows aimed at myself, but that it may is-
sue triumphant from the dangers it is made
to incur. place on the bureau OF the
chamber of deputies my resignation OF the
functions OF ofpresident Of the French republic.

Saving Heedlesa Girls from
Danger.

Boston letter in the Providence Journal.
The reckless and Ignorant way in
which girls fling themselves into the
vortex Of city life is at once amazing
and pitiful. In the report presented
at the meeting held in the chapel OF
Trinity church re, emily, the, following
cases were cited as illustrations OF the
people who needed to be looked after:
One girl, who had no money whatever,
being asked what she intended to do,
said: 81 don't know; but suppose
there night be some hotel near the
station where ] could go, and they
would take me in, and let me work
for my board until pot a. place. 4
Another showing fifty cents, all the
money she had, said: There, that's
all the money ] have got, do you sup
pose there is any house in Bost on
where can stay the night for that? /
suppose I am sure to get work to-
morrow" Others have said s.Oh! we
are going to ask some one at the
station what we had better do" The
railroad officials aid and encourage
the movement, and it is beginning to
be known along the road that such q
society exists, so that the girls are
ready to be helped. The agent relat.
ed how one girl, sick and weary, had
c'ung all through the long journey to
the cheering intelligence given her at
Vanceboro, Me-. that lady from the.
Girls friendly society would meet her
on the train and be kind to her. In
one instance the agent rescued a sirl
from the hands Of commercial
traveller, and in another warned off
the ground well-dressed woman who
was endeavoring to ensnare unsus-
pecting girls. It is not necessary to
dwell upon the good which a society
OF this sort may do. The plan in.
cludes the establishment Of a simple
and inexpensive boarding house near
the northern stations, which would
serve as temporary refnge for un-
triended girls, and at the same time
replace to, q certain extent, the poor
er classes of intelligent Offices. It all
so includes the care. so lar as advis-.
able and possible, Of immigrants ar
riving on the ocean steamers, for
whom there has hitherto been no
special provision in Boston. That q
noble work has been begun by the
Young Travellers aid, no one can
doubt.

Some fifteen years ago he noticed q feeling

was no pain, but the liberation SLOWLY

Girls VNkAo Court Beauty.

From the s6an Francisco Post.
The handsemest woman I ever saw
was one who took great care Of her
health. When I knew her she was
over 80. but; no girl Of 16 that / have
ever seen had roster cheeks or brighter
eyes. OF course she was naturally
fine looking; but the attention, she
gave to matters Of hygiene added to
and preserved her beauty. What did
she do? don't know that I can re-
count all, but remember her telling
me she took q sponge bath every
morning; WAS particular about the
her apartments; took
long walks when she could; ate but
little meat, much fruit and cereals
whenever she could get them. Anoth-
er thing Mhieh she did which she tried
without success to get me to do,
she drank; her coffee without milk or
cream, diluted with water. .
The reason she took her coffee so
was because her physicians told her it
was heal lbhier to drink it in this way.
Whether the practice added to her
PERSONAL charms or not, / don't know.
On the whole, she was certainly repaid
for her Systematic habits, and as GER
tainly there was nothing arduous
about the performance Of them. Nor
was there anything bizarre about
them. as, it seems to me, there is
about the following account read oi
@ Chicago belle:

are, she stands one hour daily, fifteen
minutes at a time, with her hands OH
her hips, before a long mirror, and,
bending her knees out from each 9th
er,she sinks slowly downt to theHoor as
low as possible, then as slowly upris-
ing,meantime moving her arms in any
direction to their utmost length, out
or up, forward or back, until, when
she stands erect, they are ready to be
placed on her hips again.
Each movement is repeated, every
time a little accelerated, until. at the
end OF thirteen minutes it is done
quickly, and q fine color is IN her
cheek. She then lies down on a perfectly
fiat couch, without a pillow until her
breath comes smooth and regular, as
it will IN the two minutes left in her
quarter of an hour. When she plays
a good deal OF tennis she cats down

benefit to be deriven from this proceed.

A POLITICAL RUmOR.

There is a political rumor to the
effect that G. G. Downing and ex-
Senator Foley have made s'com-
bine" by which Foley is to go to
Congress and Powning is to run for
Governor. It is also claimed that
Democratic assistance is to be called
in to aid this scheme.
The APPEAL does not believe this
rumor. Senior Foley is popular
enough in his own party to win a
Congressional fight without COM
bining with Mugwump, and
even if he were not he is too
shrewd a politician to ever make
the mistake of entering into such
an alliance. 1t would be simple
suicide for any Republican in good
standing with his party to make
any alliance with Powning, who
has dropped out OF Republican poll
tics in this State for ever.

A STARTLING PERCENTAGE.

OF thirty-two young men OF New
York lately examined for cadetship
at West Point, only nine were ac-
copied as physically sound. The
majority of those rejected are said
to have been found to possess the
"cigarette heart Twenty-three
out of thirty-two is a frightful pro-
portion of physical disability among
young men, who may presumed to
have had comfortable homes, good
food and sufficient clothing all their
lives, and should therefore repre-
sent the elite of American youth.
The vile cigarette IS playing havoc
with our boys. For their informa-
ton we may state that the "cigar-
cite heart" is weak heart. A
young man with weak heart is
worthless for all purposes of man
ly and useful life, and soon be-
comes burden to himself as well
as to his unfortunate relatives and
friends.
